Inspiration behind Air, Rapunzel and Sea, From our Printed Frame collection.

Artist Himitsuhana has taken the time to share her vision from taking the images of our three printed frames Air, Rapunzel and Sea. 

Air

The image "Air is not enough" which has been shortened in "Air" , When I finished the commissioned portrait I continued shooting to create something else using the same background and props. I had this big wine glass and I started playing with it and that's how the idea of "Air" was born.I used a lot of clothes to create the costume, in fact it's not a true 18-century dress but it's a mixture of several things: a 70s jacket whose sleeves I pulled up and tied with ribbons, a shirt with ruches and a velvet fabric for the dress. The idea for this concept was to depict the way an artist feels sometimes, he feeds on his own dream and inspiration and this is the way he feels the greatest satisfaction.

Rapunzel

Rapunzel is my interpretation of the famous homonymous fairy-tale. I used hair extension to create the long haid of hair, so that it really looks real. I took inspiration from the Pre-Raphaelites style of painting to create this, they used bright yet soft colors all mixed together so that in some paintings you cannot actually see the borders of the subjects. 

Sea

"Sea" whose real title is "Sur les mers dangereuses" is one of my typical surreal images in which I combine real and unreal. The little girl is a sort of abyss monster but she's also holding up a boat so it's like she's the guardian and the enemy at the same time. I love depicting concepts that carry contrasts and oppositions, I feel all of this inside so I always try to let it go into an image.
